Detox Diet 101

Detox has become one of the most used words in the health industry
over the past couple of years and for good reason. It is the key to healthy
living and survival in the era of fast foods.

When feelings of constant exhaustion start to take on a pattern in your life,
when you feel the need to shed a couple of kiloís or youíve overindulged on
certain foods, leaving you feeling tired and miserable, it might very well be
time for you to consider a detox diet.

During a detoxification process, your body will rid itself of toxins Ė the main
cause of your constant low energy levels and inability to loose weight. Your
liver is the bodyís own detox machine, but with all the toxins we ingest every
day, this machine get overworked and under performs. You need to clean it,
whether itís by means of exercise or a spa treatments, you can always help the
process by going on a proper detox diet.

A detox diet is not just a once off simple diet, although there are many
forms of detoxifying. Detox is a lifestyle. Subtle changes to your way of living
that has a huge impact on your health. By minimizing your chemical intake with
the option to choose organic foods can be a good start. Toxins prevent your
liver from function at optimum level and by reducing your intake of toxins, your
liver will be able to digest fat and cleanse your body naturally. To aid your
liver, opt for high fibre foods, fresh organic fruit and vegetables, beans, nuts
and plenty of water. Cut down on sugar, refined foods, caffeine and alcohol.

Why would detox work for you? With our fast paced lifestyles, we tend to
eat more fast food and less healthy home cooked meals. Fast foods contain a very
high fat percentage and very few nutrients. They are often high in fat soluble
chemicals that are foreign to your body and gets stored as fat tissue when your
liver cannot break it down due to all the toxins itís already fighting. This
results in your body going into slow mode causing you to feel tired, irritated,
hormonal and ill. Your skin suffers, your metabolism slows down and you start to
look and feel unhealthy.

Depending on your situation and the state of your health, care should be taken
when pregnant or breastfeeding, as a strict detox can be detrimental to the
health of the mother and the baby. Itís always a good idea to consult your
doctor if you suffer from heart disease, anaemia or any blood related disease,
cancer, high/low blood pressure, alcohol dependency syndrome, drug related
problems etc.

Important things to know about detoxifying

Side effects commonly occur with the detox process as your body starts to
clear itself. This is normal. Drink plenty of water to assist your body in the
detoxification process almost like rinsing it clean. Not everyone will
experience the same effects while on a detox as our bodies respond in different
ways. The first symptom to appear is usually a mild throbbing headache, followed
by tiredness as jour body is adjusting to the new routine. A good idea is to
start your detox on a Friday to give your body time over the weekend to rest and
adjust. Other symptoms include diarrhoea, restlessness and sleeplessness.

Unless your detox is a lifestyle change like cutting down on alcohol and
cigarette, do not continue for longer than 3 days. Try to cleanse your body
three to four times a year with the changes of the season.

Before jumping into a really hectic detox, make sure to consult your doctor or
health specialist. Read as much as you can about a specific detox diet and avoid not
eating at all. Some detox diets can be a really bad experience and do much worse
for your health than good. Read reviews about it and make sure you choose the
one thatís right for you.
